When I finished playing this game, I felt like I wanted more. That’s the mark of a good game.
Even with its faults, Ryse is a game that one should experience as it does offer a glimpse of what next-gen can be on the Xbox One.

It’s a great game, I played it originally on gamepass then I played god of war 2018 and I was just wondering how this game was so much more fun. It made me like it even more when I found out it was an Xbox exclusive. If you like good combat games give it a shot, it also has a story I really liked.

It’s a shame there appears to be components of the Kinect-only version of Ryse in the final product, which would account for the design that bounces between overly easy and challenging.
The perfect launch game, doing nothing new, arguably less so than current gen games but adequately showing off the new hardware - think of it as a tech demo with quick time event executions and you will not be disappointed.
Ultimately, however, while there's fun to be had, Ryse: Son of Rome is a little too shallow to conquer the Xbox One's launch lineup.
For lack of a better description, it’s Microsoft’s attempt at a more realistic version of rival Sony’s highly successful mythological God of War series. But where the PlayStation’s brawler games have been inventive and varied in the action and scenarios they’ve thrown at players, Ryse is a monotonous drone that keeps pounding the same one note over its 10-hour-or-so campaign.
A shallow and unambitious tech demo, of the sort that console launches specialise in. The action works perfectly well but it’s instantly repetitive to the point of inanity.
Story is good.
Gameplay mechanics are ok, my only complaint is; your hands and fingers get hurt and tired at some battles after pressing the buttons so many times, this game requires certain focus because enemies attack you from all sides, up to 5 enemies can be fighting you and you have to watch your guard, while you're in the middle of fighting one, another one attacks you from behind.
Graphics are good.

This launch title for the Xbox One is a case of style over substance. It's packed with cinematic pizazz and looks great. Unfortunately, the gameplay gets repetitive after a few hours, but it's still fun. Combat is comparable to Batman: Arkham Asylum. However, there are fewer attack moves and enemy types. Levels are linear with only a few areas that can be explored to find hidden treasures. The campaign is a 6-7 hour adventure that features an intriguing story and fantastic visuals. While it's not a very long game, the fun two player co-op modes make up for the short length.
If there ever was a "Ryse 2", then plenty of additions would have to made. "Son of Rome" is an enjoyable action title that lacks variety. If your expectations aren't high, you'll probably have a good, gory time with this one. It's the only Xbox One game that adapts the PS4's emphasis on storytelling and cinematic cutscenes. I would give it a 7.3 out of 10.

Empire of boredome... Game is beautiful even in 2023. Camera is terrible and may make you sick, and I am not that type of person talking about camera angles in games. Gameplay is run forward and press hit to beat all enemies, which are only 3-4 types. You will not miss anything, if you skip this game.
